Softball Offseason

[SportyCajun459]

Shy Irvin decommitted from UL and committed to UCF. She isn't listed on UCF current roster. Hummmm.

Supposedly decommited so late from the cajuns that she couldn't get enrolled into UCF for the fall semester. I was told by someone that her plan is to enroll for the spring semester.

Her choice of schools strikes me as odd. She is transferring to a school that had a catcher named to a freshman All American team this past season. So she is going to be sitting behind a sophmore who she probaby won't beat out, especially if she is going to miss all of this fall. Seems to me that she would have been better off staying at UL where she had a great chance to start and have gotten plenty of playing time and at-bats. She could then transfer after this season with 3 years left to play.

Maybe grades factored in? Why decommit if you have to sit out?

Money maybe???

This. I was told she was offered a full ride by UCF. If she didn't have the grades to get in, I don't believe UCF would have offered.

Define full ride.

Define full ride.

Books, tuition, housing and meal ticket.

UL offers that stuff.

Yes, they do in certain cirumstances but I can guarantee you with 100% certainty that UL didn't offer Irvin a full ride athletic scholarship to play softball like UCF purportedly did. Even with the NCAA $20.5 mill due to UL, softball's portion of that money isn't going to be very much and I bet that the majority will be used for NIL payments to players.

As a former D1 player you know as well as I know if they wanted her enrolled in the fall as an athlete they would have found a way. You also know that every school has different admission standards.
